We ask, \u201cWhat makes us who we are? Is it our cleverness, the machines we\u00a0forge and the towers we build? Or is it the stories we share and the fire in our hearts?\u201d We tell tales of fire, of giants and trolls, of trickster creators and how\u00a0we came to be human.

Imagine two very distinct and different worlds.

What would those worlds look like through your eyes? THINK, how might your very own community change? You may choose to do separate entries or one piece that cements your vision. You are the artist! Submit your entries by\u00a0September 5th<\/b>\u00a0by emailing\u00a0Madeline<\/a>\u00a0a scanned copy or photo of your work.\u00a01st place receives a cash prize of\u00a0$50\u00a0and there are awards for 2nd and 3rd place winners, too. You might even see your work displayed at the\u00a0NC WARN 30th Anniversary Celebration\u00a0September 9th at Durham Central Park!
